Rt-2-1-78: mess with the site config

RT Developers

Hi,

What is the reason that in rt-2-1-78 the site config is
loaded BEFORE the core config and gets overwritten?
Now all my site settings are lost…

In 2-1-76, lib/RT.pm:

sub LoadConfig {
require $CORE_CONFIG_FILE
|| die (“Couldn’t load RT config file ‘$CORE_CONFIG_FILE’\n$@”);
if ( -f “$SITE_CONFIG_FILE” ) {
require $SITE_CONFIG_FILE
|| die (“Couldn’t load RT config file ‘$SITE_CONFIG_FILE’\n$@”);
}
RT::I18N->Init;
}

In 2-1-78:

sub LoadConfig {
if ( -f “$SITE_CONFIG_FILE” ) {
require $SITE_CONFIG_FILE
|| die (“Couldn’t load RT config file ‘$SITE_CONFIG_FILE’\n$@”);
}
require $CORE_CONFIG_FILE
|| die (“Couldn’t load RT config file ‘$CORE_CONFIG_FILE’\n$@”);
RT::I18N->Init;
}

So that values in RT_Config.pm can inherit values defined in
RT_SiteConfig.pm.

Variables shouldn’t get overwritten, as long as you’ve upgraded
your RT_Config.pm to the 2-1-78 version. If they do, I believe
it’s a bug.

But RT_Config.pm test for truth not definedness – I just found
out about it the hard way yesterday. That is, when I set some
value to ‘’ explicitly, _Config.pm comes in and overrides it.

Point. Pity we don’t have an //= operator in perl5.

local *Set = sub { $[0] = $[1] unless defined $_[0] };

That’s another bug then: “make upgrade” did not update etc/RC_Config.pm
I upgraded from 2-1-76 to 2-1-78.

hi fellows,

how can i change/delete/add the default scrip templates for a queue ?

the reason why i’m asking, because i added in the global section
some new templates and unfortunately i can’t see any templates in the
queue section !?

everytime i need to create new template from scratch :frowning:
(also when i create a new auto-reply scrip, i receive 2 emails, one
from the default assigned scrip and one from the queue scrip itself)

thanks,
geri

I upgraded from 2-1-76 to 2-1-78.

I think Jesse omitted adding it to the upgrade target either on purpose
or by accident. (Actually, even an install is careful not to clobber
your config file.)

The lack of such an update dates from before RT_SiteConfig.pm It’ll get
cleaned up for the next release.On Tue, Mar 04, 2003 at 10:19:03PM +0100, Jeroen Ruigrok/asmodai wrote:
